Family's torment

His devastated mum Emma Hardy, of Ulceby told the Grimsby Telegraph just after his death that her family are tormented by the mystery of how he found himself in the village, almost 20-miles from home, with no money and no phone.

Police said they are treating his death as ‘unexplained’, but later confirmed there were no suspicious circumstances.
